We are at the stage of the build where the plans call for the Piano Hinge to be installed and applying fuel tank sealant along the firewall and the side skin of the fuselage.
We have decided to go with Skybolt instead of the Piano Hinge (Both are good options, but this is what we've decided for our build). We have already purchased the full kit.
Question is: What is the best way to install the Sky Bolt at this stage? Or should we just apply the Sealant to the skin now and worry about installing the Skybolt flanges once our Engine Mount and Cowl shows up so we can align the Skybolt flange at the split just right? Will we have good access later to do this?
I assume yes, because people can add this kit after the plane has been flying.
